    Lots of people do every year. Just apply under the mature student scheme and they will probably interview you. But if you have never done any 3rd level then its a long hard slog. Seriously consider doing something else first, PLC type course, certificate in one of the IT's, etc. A hons degree is a big ask as a first step.
    Good luck!

    Yea I hear you I'm on a low level course at the moment I do feel mentally prepared for a degree course though.

    Thanks all.....Dj
